“Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.”Romans 12:1-2

When hear word “sacred” we often think of “doing more” for God, or adding in additional religious exercises like going to church more, reading our Bibles more, etc…

Join us this fall as we explore a handful of SIMPLE SPIRITUAL PRACTICES that will help infuse our everyday, ordinary lives with the sacred.

This past weekend Scott Hodge continued our “Insert Sacred [HERE]” series by looking at the word, “PLEASE”. It is a word that enables us to move beyond our weakness and needs to those of others. It’s a word that we can offer to God on behalf of someone else in pain or need.

This weekend Ben Thomas shared a spiritual practice with our community, symbolized by the letter “O” and rooted in the book of Ecclesiastes, that helps us return to the innocence of a child, opens us up to connecting with the MYSTERY of The Divine, and encourages us to live fully in the present moment.
